My family

Tiger-Lilly explains her life. She has no friends (just an obnoxious boyfriend) and a poor messed up family. Now shes seeing more and more images in her head...and they're not always nice.

I can't believe what I just saw! Well maybe it was nothing I'll just forget about it. My dad snapped me out of my thoughts when he stopped to tell us he has someone coming over later. It's probably one of his ugly girlfriends he brings over every night.

 We've gotten used to the sounds we hear coming from his bedroom at night. We don't notice them anymore. We used to hang out downstairs because we couldn't sleep, but by now were so used to the sounds we just ignore them.

 I get up to put the chips away, but when I walk into the kitchen my sister Emma's boyfriends there. He smiles at me.

  "Hiiiiii Tigerrrrr",  he slurs. Hes drunk as usual, him and my sister are always drunk. I think Mike could be a really great guy if he would just stop drinking. Like my brother hes got a lot of stress in his life so he drinks it away. I just think hes lonely so he tries to hang out with me but I could never betray my sister,so I push him away.  

 "Go away Mike", I tell him. 

 "C'mon hot stuff come kiss me", he replies.

 "Mike, you're my sisters boyfriend! Get that through your head!" I yell at him. 

  Mike's always trying to get into my pants. I don't really hate him but he acts like such a creep and I can't deal with him. I wish I could tell Emma what he tries to do in case I'm not the only one but it would break her heart. I could never do that to her.

 Mike started towards me but I ran upstairs to my room before he could get to me. When I get into my room I lock the door. Just then the phone in my room rang. I ran over to get it.

 "Hello?" I ask into the phone.

 "Hey babe", the caller greeted. It was my boyfriend Beck. I only started dating Beck because he knew a secret of mine. If I break-up with him then he'll tell my secret, and this is not a little secret. So I try my best to act nice to him (even thought I hate his guts) and he keeps my secret.  

 "Hey Beck whats up?" I asked trying to sound pleased to hear from him.

 "Well I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out tonight? We could hang out just you and me?" he suggested. Oh joy! 

 "Uh..I'm busy", I lied. I'm not in the mood to hang out with him right now. 

 "Oh okay hottie maybe some other day?" he asked.   "Uh..yeah maybe some other day", I answered,  then hung up the phone.

 I went and layed on my bed. I was so tired, that I slowly drifted off to sleep.

You really have a knack for the dialogue of the characters- it's witty and smart and very true to the teen audience. I have a problem with Mike though. Is this guy drunk all of the time!? he is basically the personification of alcoholism- and I think that you are only showing one facet of this kind of personality. Does he ever get depressed or ever sober up? I think he has the potential to be a very deep character, if you let him. It's not that believable if he's always drunk and horny- allow him to do other things.

I like where you're taking this. Poor Tiger, bad school life, bad home life...

Poor girl, she sounds like she is trying to grow up in a difficult household. Like I said in my last comment, I want to know more. Why does she seem so melancholy? Did something happen at school for the girl to be so mean to her?

Of course, these are all things you can answer in later chapters. I can't wait to find out.

Great! I liked her struggles and how she cant tell her sister's boyfriend off because it might hurt the sister's feelings. i question, why is she dating Beck? he doesnt seem like a good match for her..haha.

Mike is a creep and Tiger and her sis are hearing things from her dads bedroom. Her bro is 14 and he smokes a lot of pot....Translation: Drama, Drama, Drama

Me like, Keep up the good work.
